Robert again you do not know what the fuck you are talking about. It is illegal to sell other peoples words without their permission. Copying the words is legal though very much stalkerish, but selling them is illegal. Always has been, always will be.

I imagine the person in question is just a wacko with a vivid imagination though.

The tos do not affect copyright law and that is all I am commenting on.

As for copyrights... Again. Anything you post maybe reported. You can take what I said and quote it as unknown in a book and then sell the book. You aren't claiming ownership over the quote, but attributed it to an unknown person.(which technically speaking we are all unknown to eachother.)

Think of it like this. You can gain access to the forums without bein logged in. You simply will not see the names of who posted what. So if someone were to see a quote posted, they will not see a name other than unknown.

This makes quoting all post here as unknown legal.

Robert you do not know what you are talking about. Go back to school, if they will let you in the doors. BTW if it is not too difficult read the terms of service for the site. They are very lengthy so we will see you in about a year.

No copy right laws would be violated. The forums are a place to share ideas, not proof read stories.

If ghost said he was selling the stories from the story section, you would have a case to argue and I would be inclined to agree. More over ghost would be copy pasting people's quotes, it is done all the time and is legal so long as he doesn't state that he made the quote.

Look for the quote being attributed to unknown.

There are many quotes from unknown scourses.

"Blatant violation of site TOS, whoever it is hopefully Wayne has been watching. Also violating copyright laws."

"I've been copying the righties posts here for months. I'm going to sell it as 'stock dialog' "

Blatant violation of site TOS, whoever it is hopefully Wayne has been watching. Also violating copyright laws. But a lot of folks would just consider them a douche.

That is what you get when you are tired... Work almost over, go home, to bed and sleep.

"presuming he's not inventing a name."

I thought that covered me in the event Robert Hill (or Hilfiger, or Hilstone, or whatever) wasn't your real name.....

How are you sure that I am not using a random first name? Maybe Robert is a name of a hill?

In truth, I am a single male and it is mostly acceptable for single males to sleep around. (one of societies double standards.)
